Princess Beatrice Is Forbidden To Take This One Thing From Prince Andrew

By Taylor Hancen Rios

Princess Beatrice In many families, the eldest child is the beneficiary of certain perks and privileges, and the royal family is no exception. But in the case of Prince Andrew’s oldest child, 31-year old Princess Bea, she can expect no royal treatment in regard to a very important matter.

Why Is Princess Bea Forbidden From Inheriting Her Father’s Royal Role?

Princess Beatrice has a younger sister, Princess Eugenie. Both are the offspring of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. On their 1986 wedding day, Prince Andrew was made the Duke of York and this peerage is his for life.

Yes, it’s his to keep even after Andrew withdrew from public life last year following a controversial and train wreck interview with the BBC regarding his relationship with the dead convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Has The Duke Of York Been Seen For The Last Time In A Public Role?

Many royal watchers have declared the Duke of York died in the water as far as ever again being a public representative of the royal family. Most if not all of his sponsors have kicked him to the curb, and now it appears that his own mother, Queen Elizabeth, has decided he is too much of a liability to represent The Firm.
But apparently his peerage is untouchable.

Prince Andrew’s Peerage Will Not Pass On To Either One Of His Daughters

Not only that, but neither of his daughters is allowed to inherit it due to the law of male primogeniture. According to the law, UK hereditary titles can only be passed on to men. Specifically, the Letters Patent which applies to the Dukedom of York states that the title will be inherited by, “heirs male of the body.”

So what happens when Prince Andrew passes away? Without a son to inherit the title, the dukedom of York may simply fade away upon his demise.

Then again, a distant male heir is allowed to, and may, inherit the title.

For As Long As Male Primogeniture Exists In The UK Princess Beatrice Will Not Be The Next Duchess Of York

One thing is certain, however, and that is that while male primogeniture is the rule of the day, Bea is out of the running for her father’s peerage.

Daughter’s Rights is an organization seeking to change that, however. The founder, Charlotte Carew Pole is seeking to end male primogeniture in the UK and at this time there is a case in the European Court of Human Rights that challenges the Government due to the matter of one’s sons, to the exclusion of females, inheriting titles.
